Rating Title Year Quote Author

Splat

V For Vendetta (2005)

"As Vendetta winds up, the movie gets a little lazy, and a little wacky (it shows some of the lack of discipline that troubled the Matrix sequels)."

Gary Thompson

Splat
C

Vacancy (2007)

"Vacancy isn't a commentary, just another graphically violent horror movie, traveling a well-worn path -- urbanites wandering into the countryside and being accosted by rural weirdos."

Gary Thompson

Tomato
B

Valkyrie (2008)

"On one hand, it's kind of silly, on the other, these are very fine actors, and give this super-slick thriller some of the facets and angles that help make a cool object at which to gaze."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Van Helsing (2004)

"Van Helsing is more like Sommers' less amusing Mummy sequel -- longer, flabbier, and overloaded with bloated CGI interludes."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Vanilla Sky (2001)

"I'm afraid that David just isn't that interesting."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Venom (2005)

"I can safely prounounce this would-be horror series (it angles for a sequel) to be dead on arrival."

Gary Thompson

Tomato
B

Venus (2006)

"Venus director Roger Michell is not above holding the movie out as O'Toole's swan song, but the movie is so obscenity-laced, so unsentimental (shot in harsh natural light), that it never feels too manipulative."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Vera Drake (2004)

"Though as unassuming as its title character, Vera Drake very boldly reaches out and grabs the third-rail movie topic of abortion."

Gary Thompson

Splat

Veronica Guerin (2003)

"Guerin cries out for a more complex treatment of its subject, and it often skips over issues that neither Schumacher nor Bruckheimer seems interested in confronting."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

Vertical Limit (2000)

"Subplots of treachery and revenge make this play like The Eiger Sanction, but Vertical Limit shows you can go pretty far with enough funny lines and well-crafted action sequences."

Gary Thompson

Tomato

A Very Long Engagement (2004)

"A hopeful, funny movie."

Gary Thompson

Splat

View from the Top (2003)

"The whole thing feels like a botched rewrite, or a script distorted by casting decisions."

Gary Thompson

Splat
C+

The Village (2004)

"It's not very scary. And absent the skin-crawling, hair-raising magic that usually attends a Shyamalan movie, The Village is a bit of a long sit."

Gary Thompson

Tomato
B

The Visitor (2008)

"The Visitor is best enjoyed as a chance to see some new faces, or old faces like Jenkins', doing new things."

Gary Thompson

Splat
B

Volver (2006)

"A rare success in the overcrowded (with formulaic disappointments) field of movies about estranged mothers and daughters who, at last, find a way to understand each other."

Gary Thompson
